Categories: Bellino News 24May Bellino’s ‘spring cleaning’ proposal receives overwhelming House support The Michigan House Wednesday voted overwhelmingly to approve a plan sponsored by state Rep. Joe Bellino removing an unnecessary law from the books.Bellino’s plan removes a duplicative reporting requirement within the Office of Community Corrections. Submitted reports outlining funding requests were once received by the state, but that information is now redundant since it is submitted to the Legislature each year within the Michigan Department of Corrections budget.Bellino’s proposal is part of a bill package that he and his House colleagues have been working on to clean up state government and have it run more efficiently for the people of Michigan.“More often than not, regulations in state law are duplicative to others,” said Bellino of Monroe. “My plan, as well as plans sponsored by my colleagues in the Michigan House aim to get rid of unnecessary regulations to keep our government clean and limited.”House Bill 5997 now moves to the Senate for further consideration.read more

Discovery Communications is “not out of bullets” to use for company acquisitions despite its US$14.6 billion (€12.4 billion) takeover of US compatriot Scripps Networks Interactive, its chief executive has said.David ZaslavThe Scripps deal will create one of the largest media companies in the US, and includes US$2.7 billion worth of new debt for Discovery.However, this will not hamstring in it the acquisitions market due to the way it’s financed, Discovery president and CEO David Zaslav told investors on a conference call yesterday.“We’re not out of bullets,” he said. “Over the next two years we still have enough room to do some selective purchases that are smaller if we need to.”On a wide-ranging investors’ call that followed the announcement of the Scripps purchase and second quarter financial results, Zaslav gave some colour on the shape of the business following deal closure, which is expected early next year.He said having Travel Channel, Food Network, HGTV and other cable nets in the Discovery bouquet should push up prices for pay TV platforms. “When you put us together, we’re about 20% of the viewership on cable, but we’re less than 10% of the economics,” he said.He also pointed to the potential of launching direct-to-consumer services at competitive prices, with the possibility of moving smaller and less lucrative networks going mobile- or digital-only.Zaslav said discussions had not yet happened about “whether all of [the linear channels] are going to be survivors and winners, or whether some of them need to be invested in more”.“Maybe some of them could be taken in a different way — to mobile or consumers,” he added.Scripps chairman, president and CEO Kenneth Lowe agreed that networks with a “passionate base” of viewers could move to digital distribution in future, adding: “It’s way too early to think about which brands go away.”Zaslav yesterday pointed to synergies between the Discovery model of targeting “passionate super fans” and Scripps’ thematic network bouquet as a key motive for a deal.read more
